OTRO
La alienación embute mis sentidos. Los empareda. Embota y
confunde mi cato entendimiento. Sigo su dictado determinante. Me doblego . Doblo las rodillas. No rompo. No rasgo.
Transijo. Consumo. Consumo. Consumo, a veces con sumo placer. No sé qué haría yo por mí mismo si no
estuviera alienado. Si fuera libre. Si no fuera tan dichosamente feliz bajo las
cadenas de esta sociedad judeocristiana. Si no me hubieran marcado con el
hierro candente del capitalismo las meninges. Si no luciera estas vergonzosas monedas de oro que apaciguan mi domesticada indignación. Y pasan los días. Iguales unos a otros. Tan sólo la isla del corazón me
redime de este ciclo vicioso. De este bucle de amodorramiento. Una isla mi
hogar donde creo refugiarme de la vorágine exterior. Ella y él, como anclas que
me dan el norte. Moléculas de dos átomos
alrededor de los que orbito. Mi camino interior. El resto son efluvios de metano que conforma
apariencias como cantos de sirena. No
puedo liberarme. Me sumerjo cada día en el caldo espeso de la alienación
diciéndome que soy más fuerte. Que yo controlo. Y recorro inconsciente los pasos ayer hollados, las mismas huellas. Siempre. Alienado. Soy otro. Otro. Del que sería.¿Cómo
sería? Aislado. En la naturaleza. Como Alexander Supertramp. Moriría ingiriendo
bayas venenosas tras medir mis fuerzas con el mundo. En soledad. Como Jeremiah Johnsons. Devorado
por un Grizzly. Soy tan distinto del que
sería. Alienado. Reducido. Autolimitado. Y si hay algo que me mantiene a salvo.
Cobijado. Vivo. Eres tú.
Oh, it's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free
Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
When you want more than you have
You think you need...
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
Because when you have more than you think
You need more space
Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
There's those thinking, more-or-less, less is more
But if less is more, how you keeping score?
Means for every point you make, your level drops
Kinda like you're starting from the top
You can't do that...
Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, have mercy on me
Hope you're not angry if I disagree...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

I like "Other". It's a moving text, with all its mountains and clouds, and sunny bends, soft slopes and a gentle final. I don’t know if "when you have more than you think you need more space" (a verse of the song) but you’re a poet my friend, a lucky poet.
